Take-Two Not Abandoning the 'Core Gamer'

Despite a recent trend of game companies shifting focus to social and mobile gaming, publisher Take-Two says its not abandoning the core gamer anytime soon in favor of Facebook gaming.

During Take-Two's fiscal fourth-quarter investor call this afternoon, company chairman Strauss Zelnick was asked if he thought social games, such as those seen on Facebook, were cutting into its core gaming market. He says the company is interested heavily in social gaming, but is not worried about it shrinking the 'core' market.
